Dipper and Mabel Pines hid behind the coral surrounding the playground that was once their most cherished spot. The guards that had protected them only yesterday now searched the seafloor so that they could… Dipper didn't actually know what the guards would do when they found them, he assumed that Mabel and him would be killed. Really he had no way of knowing, and somehow that was even scarier. The guards approached their hastily chosen hiding spot. Dipper didn't know how much time they had left for Mabel to use the necklace, but it was probably under a minute.
"Mabel, c'mon. You have to break the necklace, It's our only way out of this." Dipper knew Mabel could sense his urgency. He truly didn't want to scare his sister, but he wouldn't be able to protect her from anything if she didn't break the freaking necklace. Mabel looked to him with a furrowed brow and watery eyes.
"I can't do it Dipper; I can't. What if it doesn't even do anything, and we broke it for no reason. There has to be another way" Mabel looked away towards the ground, trying her best to hold back tears. Dipper would have much rather taken the time to convince her, but they just didn't have time.
"I'm sorry Mabel." Dipper grabbed the necklace from Mabel's grip and smashed it on the ground. The twins were swept up in a swirl of water; the last thing Dipper saw was Mabel's face switch from confusion to devastation.
Mabel woke up in a field of grass, land grass. Mabel was confused, she was upset, and she was absolutely pissed off, but she forgot that pretty quickly. Mabel had never even seen land grass, it was so weird and prickly and cool. She started rolling around and smelling the grass. Did Mabel mention that grass smelled super cool. She looked over to her still sleeping idiot of a brother, and realized that they were really on land. How did they even get here? It must of been the necklace. Mabel had always thought that it was just a weird shell, but Dipper must have been right. How? Mabel didn't get much time to contemplate before she heard voices break through the woods.
"So Sixer what are we looking for today anyway, I thought your nerd book was finished. You lose a page or something?" Mabel felt like an idiot, they were on land, they still had their tails, and there were humans approaching. Maybe they were friendly humans. They sounded like they might be friendly. The twins mother had always said that humans were dangerous, but Mabel's mother wasn't right about everything. Dipper would say that she was too trusting. Mabel didn't feel like listening to Dipper right now though, not even fake Dipper.
Mabel wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway. She couldn't move, and she was so tired too, she just wanted to drift off back into sleep. The last thing Mabel heard was a gruff exclamation.
"Sixer are those freaking mermaids!?"
